I have been getting batches through that are not in English. Do I send the batches back or is there a tool that I can use to help translate the batch to English?

    Please don't try to translate for indexing. That's the source of ridiculous misindexings, such as the father's religion and occupation being turned into the mother. (Yes, actual example. "Cath Arendat".)

    If the batch is not in a language you know, please just return it and get a different batch.
